ECR at San Mateo Pride

We had a great time dancing at San Mateo Pride again this year. As you can see in this article, we were the hit of the festival! After an introduction by the mostly fabulous Pollo Del Mar, we revved up the laid-back crowd with our high-energy dancing, got some good press for the club, and maybe got a few people interested in our fall beginner class.

PLUS Class Graduation

On Wednesday June 11, El Camino Reelers welcomed our two new Plus Class grads into the club with cake, speeches, diplomas, the traditional blindfolded dance, and more cake.

We gave a great big thank-you to class instructor Rich Reel for another year of inspired teaching and calling.

They danced, they got their diplomas, ate cake, and danced some more!
ECR's hard-working A2 Class graduated with full honors Tuesday April 29.

By popular demand, A2 dancing with Kurt and Dave will continues through the end of June. If you dance Advanced, get some practice before Convention! 7:30 Tuesdays at St. Andrews.

Black And White And Fun All Over

On February 22, Reelers and friends dressed up (or down) in their snappiest black and white outfits to dance to Vic Ceder at ECR's Black & White Ball. A splendid time was had by all!

MAJOR LEAGUE

SQUARE DANCING

EL CAMINO REELERS is a modern Western Square Dance club, formed by lesbians and gay men in order to meet people, have fun, and learn to square dance. We dance to live callers using the Callerlab Mainstream, Plus, Advanced, and C1 programs.

LEARN TO SQUARE DANCE! It's a great way to meet active, open-minded, intelligent, and sometimes very silly people.

We would be glad to welcome you to our club. Send a note to information@reelers.org and let us know you're interested.

El Camino Reelers is a member of
